Abstract
In order to provide consistent clinical clerkships in community pharmacy, the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy uses a dual, or shared, preceptorship between site pharmacists and community pharmacy-based clinical faculty. Teams are developed with an assigned faculty member preceptor, then students are assigned to the individual team and clerkship site. Site preceptors provide students with daily activities and guidance while faculty preceptors enhance the experience with additional off-site clinical activities and team projects. This approach develops a strong partnership between the university and community pharmacies with the common goal of providing quality patient care services in the community.
